Can You Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam?

Can You Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam?

Date: 23 September 2022 | By: Lester Dagge

You might be surprised to learn that the answer to this question is a resounding yes! Sticking plasterboard with expanding foam is not only possible, but it's also a great way to ensure a tight, secure bond between the plasterboard and the wall. In this blog post, we'll show you how to do it.

Stick Plasterboard with Expanding Foam Steps:-

Step One: Prepare the Surface

Before you can stick your plasterboard to the wall, you need to make sure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris. The best way to do this is to use a wire brush to remove any loose paint or plaster. Once you've done that, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Step Two: Apply the Foam

Once the surface is prepped and ready to go, it's time to apply the expanding foam. For best results, use a foaming gun to apply the foam evenly across the surface. Once you've applied the foam, wait for it to expand and cure (this usually takes around 24 hours).

Step Three: Apply the Plasterboard

Now that your foam is fully cured, you can go ahead and apply your plasterboard. For best results, use water-resistant plasterboard such as Aqua-Panel. Start by applying one board at a time, using screws or nails to secure it in place. Once all of your plasterboards are in place, you can then start jointing and skimming them.

Give it a go

As you can see, sticking plasterboard with expanding foam is quite easy. This method is not only quick and easy, but it also produces great results. So next time you're looking for a way to secure your plasterboard, don't forget about expanding foam!
